No offense but do you even know what malaria is? Doesn't sound like you do from that statement.

Malaria, like herpes, stays in your system one you contract it, and makes recurring appearances, causeing fevers , shakes, and other symptoms before going back into remission......

what part of that is incorrect................

Like this car, when you think its sold, it comes back, again, and again, and again.....

Seller answered my email said buyer backed out saying couldn't come up with money.......

But every time?................would end auction early for a good offer......wife would pull a Loreena Bobbit on me if I brought another home right now however.

I try to get my full dose of Gin & Tonics and I won't get Malaria... or that car

actually that's how the drink was invented.. an Englishman who hated the taste of Quinine decided to mix it with Gin and a little lime.. ummm, good.

Why, even a da-n yankee feller from north of the manson nixon line like myself has SEEN AND HEARD REalph Stanley and his son and entire band. Tis was at a benefit show last spring for the restoration of an old theatre in Agusta, Georgia. The show took place at said theatre. It was EXCELLENT!
see 'ya

I don't even need to look, to know that it's the one located in the Portland, Oregon area...

EDIT: After looking at it, it's a differnt one, but I am sure the one in Portland still isn't sold yet.

Of course I don't KNOW this but I've often wondered if the seller doesn"t own SEVERAL MB's and switches buyers and pays eBay nothing or very little for bringing him customers. Just a thought.

Not to detract from the topic of this wonderful thread, but I've had malaria, in fact, I lived for many years over several countries in which malaria is more common than the common cold/flu is here and NO, once you get it it doesn't stay in your system and doesn't have recurring appearances. Just thought I'd mention it.
